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.
