David SmithWhite - ANON. by Me

To be anonymous or not
anonymous?
I question the nom-de-plume.
As a literary device,
writ in inks of faint vice,
it deserves full extinction
and doom.

To be a scoundrel or not,
a scoundrel?
To be known for who you are!
Or be an ass
with an alias;
with a brain they stick
in jars.

To be a ratbag or not,
a ratbag?
I stand the just rebuke.
But others flag
their purile gags,
with the mindless tags
of kooks!
