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.
