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.
