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.
