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.
