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.
