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.
