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.
