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.
