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.
