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.
