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.
