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.
