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.
