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.
