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.
