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.
