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.
