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.
