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.
