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.
