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.
