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.
