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.
