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.
