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.
