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.
