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.
