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.
