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.
