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.
