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.
