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.
