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.
