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.
