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.
