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.
