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.
