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.
