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.
