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.
