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.
