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.
