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.
