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.
