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.
