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.
