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.
