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.
