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.
