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.
