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.
