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.
