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.
