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.
