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.
