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.
