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.
