This book takes two lines from a song (Wichita Lineman written by Jimmy Webb), 12 words in total, and presents them rearranged into all possible permutations, most of which are grammatically incorrect but nonetheless appear to carry meaning.
Wichita Lineman was recorded by Glen Campbell reaching #3 on the U.S. pop chart in 1968 and remaining in the Top 100 for 15 weeks. Webb's inspiration for the lyrics came while driving through Washita County in rural southwestern Oklahoma. At that time, many telephone companies were county-owned utilities and their linemen were county employees. Heading westward on a straight road into the setting sun, Webb drove past a seemingly endless line of telephone poles, each looking exactly the same as the last. Then, in the distance, he noticed the silhouette of a solitary lineman atop a pole. He described it as "the picture of loneliness."
