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.
