It isn't fair, my precious, is it, to ask us what it's got in it's nassty little pocketsess?
She comes sometimes at need,
But never at your heed.
To meet with her is jolly,
To push her would be folly.
Who is she?
edit: for bonus points, I first came across this with a second step in the puzzle. Not a riddle, but a different kind of puzzle. Solve this:
Cyphertext
Lweycxkxr nq kwf mxzqp vlqu yq uxslnkyy, njocy kc yi ykj u dop mjyfff lp udvp nq pws. Kdd qkxrm cbp nqy dgcvw nq qpn kdd zcd wcvdwy dyos qpq njo rlqeyx. Vrp vgo, zz eyfluo, qfkod upihua lpwcedy dopm fyy'n ekcy yrln jexupc ebkxv cu sxjqcdcdvp.
Though that's not the same text I had the first time (it was in a D&D game and the text was related to that), the same technique would need to be applied to read the above text. The riddle's solution is relevant.
