Can you?

“I am the Cat the Cat in the Hat
It is about me that I like to chat
I have come to this page come to this post
It is about me that I like to boast
It is not about you but all about me
I am the greatest just like Ali
I am the greatest greatest of all
I hike from spring thru summer and fall
I can out hike you all never do I stop
I can out hike you all walk until you drop
I have legs made of steel a pace that will kill
I walk through Gods green valleys and over the hill
You don't have it in you give it your best
All you will see is my back over the crest
Many just like you have come and have tried
I left them in the dust where they sat down and cried
Come and try to do it I don't think you can
I am a hiker The Hiking Man
Go ahead and do it just give me a call
Hike with me spring summer and fall
Remember to me it is just a game
I am the Cat in the Hat that is my name”

“Well now, look at you there o` son
I`m a mess and you`re a bigger one
so, you`re that cat in the hat
I don`t know what to make of that
all that there is in the world and that you confess
I thought you something else, that wasn`t my guess
it is kinda funny the way you rhymed that and clowned
but, there`s some here that can walk you into the ground
and you the cat in the hat, good for you
oh, you do write poems better than I do”

“oh Bigfoot of that I am not sure
you are a lot bigger and have more fur
there are plenty who love to flash and make some sound
tis no one here to walk me to the ground
it is a really good ode or poem that I read or write
but it is the trails that I seek for a really good hike
it is times like this with nothing to do
that I enjoy a good post or a poem or two
alas it is when I can say
I put my foot in my mouth again today
humor and banter is all that it took
to bring you to a poem from the great bigfoot”

“Says I to the Big Foot,
And to KingForToday,
You've started a game
And now I'd like to play.

Your boasting is sad
And your poetry, weak.
Your rhythms and rhymes
Do not have the right beat.

Now, I don't mean to say
That none of it's clever,
For I hate to be critical.
(But I never say never.)

But the boasting, my friends,
Yes the boasting must go.
It isn't endearing
As I'm sure you must know.

Look up Yertle the Turtle,
Oh KingForToday,
For he was the ruler
Of all he could see.

Too greedy for power
He stacked them all higher
'Til turtle Mac burped
Then the King was a diver.

And Yertle the turtle-king,
And KingForToday,
Became turtle-has-been
And KingForYesterday.

Now Big Foot, my friend,
As I re-read your post,
I see your humility,
Nary a boast.

It was just KFT
Who thought he was grand
But you didn't stoop to his
Level...you 'da man!

(Now I hope you don't mind,
Oh great KingForToday
That I have barged in
And started to play.

And I'm sure you would beat me
Through valley, o'er hill
So keep patting yourself
On the back; no one else will!)”

“It is through your response, a slap in the face
Not over a hill but wit in this race
I truly did start this, to the finish I run
A battle of poets, a war in good fun
A challenge of words, come one, come all
Only one can win the rest should fall
And if it is riddles on this noble quest
Shoot from the hip for I am the best
Post in your riddles, post into this dump
Give me a day I will not be stumped
Fritz, I like you style, Bigfoot yours too
Post me a riddle I'll see what I can do.
Post me a riddle post on this thread
It is not your words of wit that I dread”

“

A slap in the face?!
That was not my intention!
Every line was in jest
Please forgive the dissention.

Now the rules of the game,
You are changing them all.
No more rhyme, no more meter,
"Give me riddles!" you call.

Well riddle-me-this,
Is your taunt, is your challenge
So riddle-you-that,
Yes, I think I can manage.

Well let's see, KFT,
If my pea-sized old brain
Can concoct you a riddle,
Confuse what is plain.

"I am named for a rock,
I am named for a peak,
A day's hike north of Altus,
Is the answer you seek.

"Who am I?"

”

“I didn't take the time I really could had
It is my fault if I look kinda bad.
A rhyme or a riddle it doesn't matter much
somthing to think about I take it as such
You gave me a riddle named for a peak
it is tough the answer I now seek
I don't know if it is for your name that I must look
but that is the assumption I took.
You are named for a peak or named for a rock
would my answer be wrong if I called you Scott.”

“As I head off to work
I will leave a quick clue
No, it isn't my name
You've got more work to do.

The answer you seek
Is a place you could go
It's the name of a place
And I'll tell one thing more.

Go north from the state
With one star on its flag.
(Now you'll solve it, my friend,
Now this one's in the bag!)”

“There once was a man named Fritz
He accepted this contest of wits.
The Kingfortoday
He did proceed to slay
Crusing his opponent to bits!

;-)”

“"I am named for a rock,
I am named for a peak,
A day's hike north of Altus,
Is the answer you seek.

"Who am I?"

This isn't a riddle
You can solve on a hike
You can't solve it while showering
Or riding a bike.

You'll need a good reference
A website or book
A list of state parks
Will be well worth a look.”

“Da riddle by Fritz
Don't give us no Fits
If we chortle don't fault us
just take us to Altus
17 miles I'm countin'
from Altus to Quartz mountain.”

“Ped you've nailed it
As you knew
Utilizing
Every clue

Too easy?
Yes, I think it's true.
I said too much
Gave too many clues.

But Good job Ped!
Now you da man
Now riddle us back
See if you can!”

“Riddle me this one, riddle man
figure this one out if you can
what has two eyes yet cannot see
a hint of love that will never be
with a heart made out of stone, yes, it`s true
you will love no one back that ever loves you
here`s one more twist for you and that with a knife
love you`ve never spent makes for a very cold life”

“I'm too tired to rhyme tonight
And besides, I don't have time tonight.
So I'm just guessing it right out, flat,
It's a cold-hearted woman
That's made you write all that.”

“You bet!”
