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.
