Will Write For Food. Writing is not only my favorite skill.

Writing is what I do to pay the bills.

Will Write For Food. Writing is ingrained in my way of living.

Writing is how I make a living.

Will Write For Food. I’ll write everything from the sad to the funny.

Writing is how I make my money.

I wanna get paid to write. My pen and pad is the dollar.

If I’m writing and not making any money I’ll holler.

I’m sitting on the side of the road waving a sign.

Saying I’ll “write for food” if you give me a dime.

Please don’t drive past and ignore me.

Give me the glory of getting that five dollar top story.

Let Edgar Allan “Joe” excite your mood. Come on and help a little dude who’s tryna write for food.
