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.
