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.
