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.
