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.
