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.
