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.
