When programs list the donors Who’ve sent money for a cause, There’s always someone mentioned Whose identity gives pause. The name, you see’s, Anonymous, But why, I’ll never know. This person’s generosity Appears to overflow. So what’s up with the secrecy? The label under wraps? A ploy to fool the I.R.S. Or relatives, perhaps? For when I see Anonymous, A question is implied. The answer to us peons, though, Has never been supplied. If I could donate megabucks, I’d certainly be proud And hope my name’d be written in The largest print allowed!

The point you make is understood and so are all the comments. Both sides have reason's unto themselves, to me they both make sense. Peace. :)
