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.
