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.
