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.
