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.
