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.
