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.
