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.
