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.
