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.
