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.
