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.
