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.
