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.
