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.
