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.
