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.
