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.
