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.
