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.
