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.
