Two:

One night out walking I met just two.
I was asked, "What have you done that's new?"
"Would you care to dine on nectars of wine?"
"What would it take to get you entwined?"
One of the two said, "It would be grand."
Two of one, said, "Just a minute man."
"Have we offered wrongly to thee?"
"Have we misread what's not meant to be?"
I looked, hoping I would find
a soul hidden deep within mine.
I smiled and said, with a slight grin,
"You're right. Not now, or ever, my friend."

Mistaking friendliness
n interest
for a customer
of a trio time
But a rough life they live-
