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.
