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.
