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.
