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.
