Ten Elegant Elves
Ten elegant elves went out looking fine
One fell in the mud, and then there were nine.

Nine elegant elves arrived at the council, late
One got frightened of Elrond's wrath, and then there were eight.

Eight elegant elves stayed up past eleven
One was too exhausted, and then there were seven.

Seven elegant elves picked who went on a journey by drawing sticks
The one that was chosen left, and then there were six.

Six elegant elves believed that trees were not alive
One was caught by ents, and then there were five.

Five elegant elves did not want to eat more
One was forced by hobbits, and then there were four.

Four elegant elves felt the longing for the sea
One actually went, and then there were three.

Three elegant elves watched as trees grew
One stayed in the position too long, and then there were two.

Two elegant elves danced in the sun
One slipped and fell, and then there was one.

One elegant elf shot orcs by the ton
He couldn't hold up long, so then there were none.

A/N This was just a funny type of poem that I found last year. I don't own any of the species or some of the ideas.
