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.
