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.
