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.
