hugemonkey Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 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 time And Peter, Paul or Mary circle the line Battery barter, I hear them say Not even Grammie gets to play Disorderly conduct has an odd smell at first And bemused gabbing will make a large burst Moving, yet trivial correspondence Put it in gravy for more importance Half of the alphabet, one hundred tiny things What used to count for less feelings A desert god had once agreed Danger may be found in seed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
