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.
