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.
