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.
