Question

Today's effort explains my life,

When all combined into one whole,

It's simple, yet crazy, without strife:

Initial portion has been used by me,

To trim my excess, but not for free.

It took much effort and devotion,

Covering ground with simple motion.

Not so often now as in the past,

(Not every institution can last)

Some folks like Elvis, Louis and Michael,

Ran this place, but remove the title.

A clandestine or imaginary fish,

Will grant us access to the finish.

His home, his name, much the same,

Will reveal the characteristic's name.

Hmm, this may not be very good. I hope it works! Good luck!

Third verse obviously refers to King.

Fourth I had to google to spell, Loch Ness, and when I googled I found out that the monster and the place share that name.

Second verse gimme a sec

EDIT: second verse is diet?

walk, it's a simple motion that can help you lose weight as long as you are dedicated to doing it enough

that with King...walking?

walking loch ness?

or what else could loch ness mean/or be replaced with?

may simply be "Ness". I think the monster is referred to as Ness or Nessy and since Loch just means lake, I think Ness may be the town/area itself. Although 'walk' fits the clue, I'm not sure it's the right answer. Looks like the final will be a word that fits ___ingness. Only word off the top of my head that fits is nothingness but that doesn't fit the first clue at all.

WOW! Sorry I wasn't around to give y'all feedback. I'm glad to say that it still hasn't quite been solved, but you all have moved it along quite far.

Ok... to catch up...

Third verse obviously refers to King.

Fourth I had to google to spell, Loch Ness, and when I googled I found out that the monster and the place share that name.

Second verse gimme a sec

EDIT: second verse is diet?

Right about third verse, it refers to that, but you're missing 2 important parts of the verse.

Fourth verse: Correct reference, see later spoilers for further info.

walk, it's a simple motion that can help you lose weight as long as you are dedicated to doing it enough

that with King...walking?

walking loch ness?

or what else could loch ness mean/or be replaced with?

Not quite right, but close on the second verse.

may simply be "Ness". I think the monster is referred to as Ness or Nessy and since Loch just means lake, I think Ness may be the town/area itself. Although 'walk' fits the clue, I'm not sure it's the right answer. Looks like the final will be a word that fits ___ingness. Only word off the top of my head that fits is nothingness but that doesn't fit the first clue at all.

You're right on with your first statement. The rest... keep trying.

what is the main ingredient in a successful diet?? will

will + king + ness

willingness??

Nope. (Although, you're correct about the main ingredient. :) ) But as for the riddle, no.

And the "remove the title" part of the 2nd clue could mean to remove the 'k' from 'king' which would make things even neater.

No, you caught one of the important elements of that verse that has previously been overlooked, but you've misapplied it.

Cool riddle =)

THANKS! :) :) :)

Second verse could be shrink, making the entire thing shrinkingness.

Nope, and nope. Keep trying! (Guess this one was harder than I thought. I never know with y'all!)

personality....???

Nope. Are you catching the fact that I said some of the previous things that were said were correct? Previous guesses pushed things very close to the answer, but never fully grasped all parts of it.

drunkenness? 2ndV=run, 3rdV=king, without the title, so kin/ken; 4thV=ness... not sure where the d would come from, but runkinness doesn't make any kind of sense...

Hahahaha, no offense, but does your guess explain the d? JK.

"Run" is as close as anyone has come to the answer for verse 2! Good work. But, it's not right. 3rd verse isn't right, but 4th is.

Thanks! I liked your guess! Try again.

Way to go Chess_Vixen. Two for two (so far). You're really on a roll this a.m.

And SvwnJolly, excellent riddle. I have followed regularly. Also have been following your Stinky Pinky riddle/game but have been stumped with that one, too. Kinda wish they did not move it to the games forum but understand. Everyone here should Great fun!
