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.
