Hello again! In the spirit of some of my other puzzles this riddle has an answer for each line and together they have a theme.
A revolutionaries heart changes over timeAnd Peter, Paul or Mary circle the lineBattery barter, I hear them sayNot even Grammie gets to playDisorderly conduct has an odd smell at firstAnd bemused gabbing will make a large burstMoving, yet trivial correspondencePut it in gravy for more importanceHalf of the alphabet, one hundred tiny thingsWhat used to count for less feelingsA desert god had once agreedDanger may be found in seed -

Fall through thin ice? its a little bit wrong,Or before some hard labor for mother?The levee did this in the name of one song,And I heard it weren't this in anotherThat was fun and a little different type of puzzle for me. Thanks for playing!
