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.
