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.
