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.
