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.
