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.
