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.
