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.
