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.
