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.
