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.
