Original Muldoon:

With a toe in the water

and a nose for trouble

and an eye to the future

I would drive through Derryfubble

A New Muldoon:

A nose to plunder,

An ear to poke in,

Ah, life is grand

In sunny Hoboken.

This week's contest was suggested by Peter Metrinko of Alexandria. Peter proposes that you write poetry that out-Muldoons Paul Muldoon, the Princeton professor who won this year's Pulitzer Prize in poetry. The real Muldoon, above, was quoted by The Post as an example of his poetry. Yours must imitate it. Your poem must be a single quatrain, containing at least one rhyme and references to at least two body parts and one geographic name, as in the second example above. First-prize winner gets an extraordinary prize donated to The Style Invitational by Robin Diallo of Malawi. It is a genuine Zulu mcedo, which is a caplike object woven from grass and banana leaves that is worn by Zulu men underneath loincloths for protection of a sensitive body part.

First runner-up wins the tacky but estimable Style Invitational Loser Pen. Other runners-up win the coveted Style Invitational Loser T-shirt. Honorable mentions get the mildly sought-after Style Invitational bumper sticker. Send your entries via fax to 202-334- 4312, or by e-mail to losers@washpost.com. U.S. mail entries are no longer accepted. Deadline is Monday, May 5. All entries must include the week number of the contest and your name, postal address and telephone number. E-mail entries must include the week number in the subject field. Contests will be judged on the basis of humor and originality. All entries become the property of The Washington Post.

Entries may be edited for taste or content. Results will be published in four weeks. No purchase required for entry. Employees of The Washington Post, and their immediate relatives, are not eligible for prizes. Pseudonymous entries will be disqualified. The revised title for next week's contest is by Chris Doyle of Forsyth, Mo.

Report from Week 499,

in which we asked you to mate any two Triple Crown-eligible horses and name the foal. The results, as always, were spectacular. A special mention, but no prize, goes to Jeff Brechlin of Potomac Falls, who had to stretch the form a little bit but produced this otherwise excellent entry: Mate "Roses in May" with "Exceptional Sunset" and get "Laid." Additional good entries that we had no room for can be found on www.washingtonpost.com.
