The Seven Dwarfs are little cute, funny-looking men who befriended Snow White. I do not even know why I thought about them last night, but they were in a fairy story book with a copyright of 1972 from which I used to read to my daughter many, many years ago. I still had the book although it is frail and the pages are brittle. I looked up the story and, to my disappoint, the dwarfs were not named.
I know there are more important things in life to remember, but I wanted their names because I could not call them off. I tried several ways to set their names to mind. One was putting them in alphabetical order, the next was by association, and finally by writing a silly little sentence:

Alphabetical Order
Bashful
Bashful
Doc: The leader of the pack
Dopey.
Grumpy
Happy
Sleepy
Sneezy
By Association
Bashful (a B )
Doc and Dopey (2 D’s or Opposites)
Grumpy and Happy (Opposites)
Sleepy and Sneezy (2 S’s)
Silly Sentence
I woke up both Grumpy and Happy; too Bashful to call
the Doc and too Dopey to explain while Sleepy and Sneezy.
Hopefully, the next time I wish to recall their names I can.
