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.
