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.
