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.
