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.
