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.
