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.
