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.
