a critic, admiring Voltaire  
and thinking himself debonair  
had wanted a look  
that no one mistook  
for someone just lacking in hair

he searched long and hard for a wig  
from horse hair and even from twig  
none looked as good -- worn  
as the one from popped corn  
he named it his thingamajig
