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.
