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.
