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.
