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.
