Tales of Tiptoe and More - Volume III

Episode 31

It was a sunny spring morning, and Birchiepoo Birch wrote a song
called Talkin' Linda Birch Society Blues - later on, she changed it to
Singin' Linda Birch Society Blues, since if it was a song, she would
most likely be singing it. She recorded it on an old cassette recorder
that she had stored away in her closet, making several copies, to send to her relatives, saying that she planned to sing her song at the Esperantoland Music Festival that would be held later that summer.

Within the next few days, the cassettes were received by her
relatives, most of them rural, were wary of Esperantoland, and so
didn't share Birchiepoo's excitement about performing there. The
reason they were wary, was because they were all descendants of
Phinneas P. Pigg, who invented Pig Latin, and had founded the country of Pig Latinia, which bordered on Esperantoland. The two countries were always rivals in Language Contests.

Birchiepoo had hoped that her song would help sooth relations between the countries, but apparently it wouldn't be enough. She then decided to write a song that was in both Pig Latin and Esperanto. It turned out that no one could understand it, but they decided that it would qualify her as a border guard between the two countries, and so Birchiepoo Birch can be found there today, singing Esperanto-Pig Latin songs in her spare time.
