Publishing Under a Fake Name

Publishing Under a Fake Name By Elton Camp If it’s airs that the writer really wants to assume, He can call his phony name a “nom de plume” Although less presumptuous & means the same Is the simple use of the expression “pen name” But the thing that’s particularly puzzling to me Is why writers don’t want folks their name to see After, to think and choose words, people have striven Credit for their writing they should want to be given If another their hard work should try to plagiarize, They would likely react with both anger & surprise “Why that writing was what was done only by me. How you dare to steal it is just more than I can see.” So why on earth would any writer want to try To give credit to a foolish name like “Poet Guy?” If a write is littered with many an obscene word One might well prefer that his name not be heard Certainly, if I wrote something of which I’m ashamed It would make sense that I wouldn’t want to be named But a write that’s humorous of one of serious intent To hide one’s name I can see no sensible argument
