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.
