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.
