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.
