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.
