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.
