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.
