; File: NURSERY1.DAT
; Typing practice file to accompany QUICTYPE.EXE - Quic-Type PC
; by Matthew J. W. Ratcliff
; Any line which begins with a semicolon (;) is a comment and
; is ignored by the read routine of the program. (A typing practice
; string is allowed to have embedded semicolons however.)
;
; Practice typing strings are as follows. Up to 40 lines of 80
; column strings are allowed.
;
; Below is the first nursery rhyme practice file.
; The rhymes are easily memorized. After a bit of
; practice you'll be able to BELT these little stories
; out very rapidly. The rythm of the rhymes will help you
; build a rythm to your typing as well, so that thoughts
; flow through your fingers to the keys smoothly and accurately.

Little Tommy Tucker sings for his supper.
What shall he eat? White bread and butter.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses, and all the king's men
cannot put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Hey, diddle, diddle!
The cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such sport,
and the dish ran away with the spoon.
;
; Little Miss Muffet
;
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet, eating of curds and whey.
There came a big spider, and sat down beside her,
and frightened Miss Muffet away.
