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.
