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.
