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.
