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.
