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.
