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.
