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.
