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.
