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.
