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.
