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.
