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.
