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.
