You might be right about the second line ending at the word DOG.
I haven't type those lines in a long time.

I think I'm repeating Myself here but here goes -
I had played with Typewriters a few times with the HAP Method -
Hunt And Peck.

My first day in class at Navy Radioman School I sat in front of a Typewriter,
wearing Headphones and listening to the letters ASDF sent at 4 Word per
minute.

Another day there it was JKL (can't remember if the Semicolon was included).

After some time I was hearing all 26 letters, sent as some words or
as five letter code groups.

Then the sending speed was increased.
