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.
