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.
