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.
