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.
