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.
