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.
