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.
