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.
