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.
