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.
