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.
