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.
