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.
