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.
