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.
