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.
