Endless Loop
Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
I cause people to get carried away
But they expect me to treat them this way
Either alone, or as part of a group
You enter and exit an endless loop
My path is fixed, but I never complain
And I have a rail, though I'm not a train
My older cousin, more static than me
Necessitates more bending of the knees
What am I?
