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 bird's right knee A small lock and chain keep them tied to the tree. On their left knee, however, a small key is tied to it, 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? "
