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.
