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.
