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.
