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.
