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.
