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.
