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.
