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.
