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.
