; 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 second 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.
