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.
