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.
