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.
