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.
