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.
