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.
