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.
