Rhyming Riddles

Riddle:
You’ll see me when the Sun is high and also late at night,
I’m in the songs of holidays, when the snow is white,
Kings and Queens and royalty, are all found in me,
I’m the largest of them all, with just one you see,
Step by step with pounding feet, I’m tribes of angry men,
I’m above your hands right now, for help or to go again,
You’ll use me in the kitchen, or add a little more,
I’ll be in the years to come, and the days of yore.
What am I?
Answer:
I am the number twelve.
 
Riddle: What is hot and yellow, and rhymes with fun?

Riddle:

Said the Little Dog to the Tree
 
“Now, why,” remarked the little dog,
     in speaking to the tree,
“Could one say that the heart of you
     is like the tail of me?”
 
The tree gave the conundrum up.
     The pup, with wisdom stark,
Explained the matter, saying,
     “It is farthest from the bark.”

For there shall be no place to hide
