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.
