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.
