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.
