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.
