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.
