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.
