Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
From where I sit in my lofty home,
I direct the affairs of man:
His comings & goings, his matters of heart,
Whether he succeeds or fails.
I take him to places that know no limits
And guide him through intricate schemes.
And when he sleeps, I continue on
To take him on wondrous journeys.
And though I control his every move,
His habits can disrupt my work:
Exposed to abuse, disuse, or neglect,
I no longer may ably serve him.
What am I?
