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.
