Snow White and the Seven Dorks

A magic mirror told the queen that Snow White was the fairest in the land! This put Her Majesty in a terrible snit and to the woods she had her banned! She hired a hit man to have Snow White slain but he'd have none of that! He let her go and she trudged along a path and came upon this run-down flat. She rapped upon the door and hearing no answer stealthily crept inside. Snow White had never seen such clutter - such a mess she could not abide! She grabbed a broom, mop and pail and began to swab and dust and sweep. Weary from her labors she climbed the stairs, found a bed and fell asleep! The unlikely denizens of the little shack worked in the local diamond mine. 'Twas a 'Grimm' looking lot wending their way home through towering pine. Dopey the younger, Doc the intellectual, Bashful, he with the coy pose, Drousy Sleepy, crabby Grumpy, pudgy Happy and Sneezy with finger to his nose! The little munchkins arrived home to find this beautiful creature in their bed! She awoke rubbing sleep from her eyes, stared in disbelief and nearly fled! Eventually, Snow White became a mother figure to that chaotic, motley crew! She tucked them in bed, cooked their grub and settled beefs when fisticuffs flew! Each morn the dorks shouldered tools heading for the pit to earn their dough, Singing a quaint song they made famous, "Hi ho! Hi ho! Its off to work we go!" Mister Disney made this classic film in 1937 when I was but a mere child! Even today in my dotage, watching it with my grandkids, I'm still beguiled! Robert L.

Very witty, Bob, and I love the way you worked "Grimm" into the story. Clever! I loved that movie as a child too. Also like your description of each of the dwarfs. Maybe Snow White is related to the White Glove (Mr. Clean). If so, she's welcome to visit me "stealthily" anytime. Best wishes in the contest! Love, Carolyn
