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.
