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.
