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.
