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.
