Two deaf geology professors in conversation about the landscape whilst sat outside a pub drinking

"That mound over there; is it a hill,
or perhaps its just a Hillock?"
"You can't call it a hill; old boy
it's the wrong shape; you pillock!"

"What would you say if I called it a knoll,
or maybe it's a Brae"
"No -  Braes are found in Scotland old chum
and that's much too far away!"

"What about it being a Butte
they're similar to a Mesa"
"mmm; isolated and steep sides
you're getting close I guess"- "a...

...a Tor is somewhat wide of the mark 
they have granite lumps on top
You're an expert within this feild",
"Indeed, I'm cream of the crop!"

"I'm thinking of the Pennines
and the lakes where many a Fell"
"Oh I'm very sorry to hear about your fall
I do hope it all ended well!"

"I think it might be glacier made 
a Drumlin fits the bill,
yes elongated; oval shaped!"
"Oh you can call it what you will!"

"I bet you haven't heard of a Pingo
you'd have many miles to go see"
"Oh yes I've heard of a Pingo,
...he's that cute little penguin on TV!"
