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.
