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.
