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.
