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.
