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.
