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.
