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.
