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.
