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.
