This song expresses the frustration of a timber marker cruising insect infested timber. The bigger the area the less intensity of the sampling of marked trees, the smaller the area the more intense sampling of the marked trees on the area. For example on one acre of timber could be 100% sampling of every tree marked. On 100 acres it could be 20% of all trees marked for cutting.
