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.
