What have I got in my pocket?" he said aloud. He was talking to himself, but Gollum thought it was a riddle, and he was frightfully upset.
"Not fair! not fair!" he hissed. "It isn't fair, my precious, is it, to ask us what it's got in it's nassty little pocketsess?

Polyphemus stiffened. "Who said that?"

"Nobody!" Annabeth yelled.

The answer to this riddle has a hole in the middle,
And some have been known to fall in it.
In tennis it's nothing, but it can be received,
And sometimes a person may win it.
Though not seen or heard it may be perceived,
Like princes or bees it's in clover.
The answer to this riddle has a hole in the middle,
And without it one cannot start over.

There is an Anglo-Saxon form of riddling that plays with the polarities of words like bright and dark, cold and warm, throwing them against one another and crafting lines of rich, humorous nonsense like this poem that has been around for so many hundreds of years that you just have to sit back and, with nothing else in mind, laugh out loud. 

Gerald Hausman

The beginning of Eternity,
The end of time and space,
The beginning of every end,
And the end of every place. What am I?

On ne peut la voir, on ne peut la sentir,
On ne peut l'entendre, on ne peut la respirer.
Elle s'étend derrière les étoiles et sous les collines.
Elle remplit les trous vides.
Elle vient d'abord et suit après.
Elle termine la vie, tue le rire.

(L'obscurité)

Vivant sans souffle,
Froid comme la mort,
Jamais assoiffé, toujours buvant,
En cotte de mailles, jamais cliquetant.

Trente chevaux sur une colline rouge;
D'abord ils mâchonnent,
Puis ils frappent leur marque,
Ensuite ils restent immobiles.
