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.
