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.
