The rate was not great

Wrote everything anyway

Reviewed before I sent any away

Might have to wait another day

Hopefully they will pay

Meanwhile I continued to play

Just needed to have my day

Plenty of stories that I observed not getting paid is absurd

Still waiting to get paid two dollars per word
