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.
