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.
