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.
