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.
