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.
