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.
