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.
