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.
