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.
