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.
