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.
