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.
