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.
