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.
