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.
