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.
