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.
