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.
