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.
