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.
