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.
