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.
