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.
