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.
