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.
