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.
