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.
