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.
