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.
