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.
