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.
