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.
