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.
