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.
