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.
