Sullen, sallow, callous, callow
Sullen, sallow, callous, callow
If you sulk all the time
As though sad thoughts you are mullin’
You’re sullen
If you look unhealthy
If your skin’s a sickly yellow
You’re sallow
If you’re cruel and insensitive
And act with malice
You’re callous
If you’re a young and naïve
And inexperienced fellow
You’re callow

Geography Terms
Geography terms, geography terms
A chain of islands is called an archipelago
I’d like to go there on vacation, that’s a place that’s swell to go
A narrow waterway between two cliffs is called a fjord
You can visit one in Norway if the fare you can afford
A narrow stretch of land between two seas is called an isthmus
That’s what we call it all year long, not only just on Christmas
At the mouth of a river is a flat expanse of silt
We call that place a delta and it is by nature built
An isolated hill with a flat top and steep sides
Is called a butte by the astute and by all others else besides
