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.
