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.
