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.
