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.
