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.
