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.
