The Isle of Me

Out in the center of Selfishness Sea,

There is a small island: The Isle of Me.

On this small island sits a Sum-Surra tree

Where a hundred birds perch calling, “Me! Me! Me!”


These birds perch in pairs and on each birds right knee

A small lock and small chain keep them tied to the tree.

On their left knee, however, there is tied a small key,

But try as they might, the key won’t set them free.


Can these birds figure out how to finally soar high?

Or will they be stuck in the tree til the day that they die?
