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.
