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.
