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.
