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.
