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.
