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.
