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.
