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.
