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.
