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.
