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.
