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.
