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.
