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.
