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.
