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.
