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.
