I welcome every valiant riddler to this riddling contest!
But unfortunately, for both of you, I am sorry to disappoint you, but neither of your answers is correct. I think the main mistake everyone makes here is to skip something saying "this is here probably just to fill the gaps". Everything has its place here. If there were anything you could possibly ignore, it would be the words "I know" (at the end of "you'll beat me, I know"). These are there mainly for the rhyme, are not important for the riddle, but also are not contradictory to the riddle. They just don't matter. (well, this might maybe help someone)
But besides that,
EVERY SINGLE WORD IN THE RIDDLE HAS ITS PLACE THERE.
Some more important, some less, but if it contradicts your theories about the answer, you can bet that it's the answer, and not the riddle, which is wrong.
