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.
