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.
