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.
