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.
