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.
