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.
