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.
