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.
