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.
