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.
