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.
