; File: NURSERY3.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 third 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.
;
; Banbury Cross
;
Ride a cockhorse to Banbury Cross,
to see a fine lady upon a white horse.
Rings on her fingers, and bells on her toes,
she shall have music wherever she goes.
;
; There Was An Old Woman
;
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children she didn't know what to do.
She gave them some broth without any bread.
She whipped them all soundly and put them to bed.
;
; Little Bo Peep
;
Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep,
and can't tell where to find them.
Leave them alone and they'll come home,
and bring their tails behind them.
;
; Where Has My Little Dog Gone
;
Oh where, oh where has my little dog gone?
Oh where, oh where can he be?
With his ears cut short, and his tail cut long,
oh where, oh where can he be?
;
; Mary Quite Contary
;
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
how does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockleshells,
and pretty maids all in a row.
;
; Jack Be Nimble
;
Jack be nimble, jack be quick,
Jack jump over the candlestick.
