A childhood belief about names

When I was in 4th grade, my class had to do a poetry lesson and at the end of the semester, we had to put together a compilation of poems by a famous poet. Most people did Shel Silverstein, or even the over achievers did Emily Dickenson..So, I go to present my poems(which was a lot more than the rest of the class) and I stated proudly for the class:

"My poet was Anonymous. He was very famous and wrote hundreds and hundresd of poems."

My teacher laughed for about five minutes.
