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.
