@Jessicalynnt has set another challenge, this time with the theme of these five words - sad, blue, rough, tired, low
Poem Small Hopes
We can’t accept your entry to our little competition game
To give each of the seven dwarfs a suitable new name.
Your entries made me splutter ‘What on Earth!’
Blue sounds like a miserable Smurf
For example while Low is politically incorrect
For someone not very tall when standing erect.
Tired is a bit like the original Sleepy
And then you add a pervy Gothic dwarf called Creepy.
So there are just three names left to go.
Rough sounds too violent, so no no, no.
Similarly for presenting a dwarf called Sad
Have you gone stark staring mad?
I’d say yes you are insane,
Wanting to play a dwarf yourself with your own name
When you are five foot eight
Here are the winning entries, which we think are really great;
Hernia, Colon, Anthrax, and Smackhead
Thicko, Cowpat and last but not least, Fred.

A well thought out response. I had a cuddly Smurf when I was little. Still like to watch the films if they are shown on TV!
