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.
