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.
