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.
