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.
