Elves  Live In The  Land     
       Beyond The  Great Dam.     
  It Was  Built  In The Late  Sixties.  
     The Elves Came To Us Then.     
                      
                      
 They  Were  Very  Manipulative,  And  We 
 Came  To Trust Them.          Us 
 Kids  Would Play Down At  The Water Even 
 Though We Were Not Allowed.        
    Sometimes  The  Sluice Would  Close 
 Entirely,  And The  River  At  The  Dams 
 Foot Would Dry  Up, Revealing The  Rocky 
 Water  Garden   That  Had  Been   Hidden 
 Beneath, And We Would Go There.      
      Before  The  Dam Opened  Again, 
 There Would Be A  Signal, But  The Elves 
 Would Make  Us Not Hear It, And Suddenly 
 We Would Find The Water  Rising, Already 
 At Our Knees.                
                      
   By Then  The Elves Would  Be  Gone.
