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.
