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.
