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.
