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.
