Potioncat:
Oh, I will be so happy when this thread is done. No offense, you 
understand, but every time I see the "Re House elves..." subject 
line, I hear music, while visions of enchanted household objects 
dance around my head. Hmm. This may be the answer, from the foremost 
expert on Magic, Disney:

Life is so unnerving
                For a servat who's not serving
                He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
                Ah, those good old days when we were useful
                Suddenly those good old days are gone
                Ten years we've been rusting
                Needing so much more than dusting
                Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills
                Most days we just lay around the castle
                Flabby, fat and lazy
                You walked in and oops-a-daisy!
