I’m sharing another riddle from “Way Down Yonder on Troublesome Creek Appalachian Riddles & Rusties” by James Still.
Can’t find it in ocean, or in ground,
Or in air, or in town,

Thing in the middle
Goes ker-flippety-flop.
Then answer: a churn.

that was my guess!
Gravity?
A churn! That never crossed my mind, and I don’t have a clue what this new one is. I guess I’ll have to think on it and see of something comes.
