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.
