Riddle me this and riddle me that,
Why did the cat in the hat come back?
He came to ask Sam for some green eggs and ham,
But I see that you still don't know who I am.
---
Puzzle me this and laugh if you wish,
My British cousin is like a big fish.
Helen Clark likes to get on with a meeting,
But she looks at a menu to see what she's eating.
---
Let riddle and rhyme be a sign of the time,
Let puzzle and pun help the Emperor's son,
Let metaphor be the heart of the matter,
And allegory clothe both former and latter.
---
When I tell you this secret how long will you keep it?
In truth will you know how to speak it?
When I see on the box my friend the smart fox,
Will he be willing to carefully repeat it?
---
Dark forces kidnapped and drove me insane,
And I've been in real pain as I've tried to explain,
That my D.N.A. is that which I gain,
From an unbroken line back to King Charlemagne.
---
Camilla will see a caterpillar pupate,
And then she will know what to sing.
Charles will have butterflies of a kind,
And then he will know he's the king.
---
Jacqueline Iris Coldham-Fussell and Jillian Rose Greening are twins,
If they stand on a hill, how much water will spill,
As my triple crown reign begins?
