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.
