10 Little Dusk Elves

(accompanied by some ghastly imagery of dark-skinned, dark-haired male elven characters dying in many gruesome ways)

10 little dusk elves

Thought they were just fine.

Their lord was a fool

And then there were nine.

9 little dusk elves

Exiled through the gate.

One died one the way,

And then there were eight.

8 little dusk elves

Under gypsy care.

Wagons roll'd on one

So's now seven there.

7 little dusk elves

Saw war at the fen.

Di'n't fight, one got fright

And there were six then.

6 little dusk elves

A witch caught one 'live.

Somday's mutton meat,

And then there were five.

5 little dusk elves

To the manor bore.

One’s lost ‘mong the dead

And then there were four.

4 little dusk elves

Hide in some trees.

A tree ate one good

And then there were three.

3 little dusk elves

Not sure what to do.

One’s not there at all

So it’s really two.

2 little dusk elves,

Daughter and a son.

One slew the other

Leaving only one.

1 lonely dusk elf,

Living in a hill.

Cried but has not died,

Someday surely will.
