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.
