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.
