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.
