Enigmarch, Day 23: NEITHER

[tahnan]

Man, I have been so blocked on NEITHER. Rejected a lot of overly complicated trivia ideas in which two choices are presented and neither/one/both is read as 0/1/2 and then you read as ternary...upshot is, lots of bad ideas.

Is this a good idea? No, but at least I can move forward.

Let's Call the Whole Thing a Puzzle

Things have come to a pretty pass, haven't they? Here are ten more ways we disagree, more or less just like the originals.

You like to ONE, and I like ONE.
You can remove things, I just feel joy.
Erase it, remove it; contentment, enjoyment;
Let's call the whole thing off.

You like it NOTHING, and I like a THREE.
You upped the angle, I got some money.
It got more uphill-like; I'm paid for a service;
Let's call the whole thing off.

You like to TWO, and I like a TWO.
You tend to vary, and I like a wildcat.
You swing back, you swing forth; it's New World and spotted;
Let's call the whole thing off.

You like a ONE, and I like a ONE.
You use a chalkboard, and I drop a coin in.
A blackboard for writing; a coin hole, I gamble;
Let's call the whole thing off.

You like to FIVE, and I like to FIVE.
You play to preference, and I think it over.
You bend over backwards; I muse and consider;
Let's call the whole thing off.

You like a THREE, and I like a THREE.
You skip an appointment; I seek reassurance.
You have a free hour; a prize for a loser;
Let's call the whole thing off.

You like it EIGHT, and I like it EIGHT.
You didn't mean to, and I headed westward.
It wasn't on purpose; I'm far from the Orient;
Let's call the whole thing off.

You prefer NOTHING, and I like a TWO.
You yield to others, and I do subtraction.
Your mien is respectful; I notice the contrast;
Let's call the whole thing off.

You like a TWO, and I like a TWO.
You have a demon, and I have employment.
A demon's inside you; I'm in a location;
Let's call the whole thing off.

You have a TWO, and I have a TWO.
You sent a bill out, and I turned it over.
A paper for billing; the flipside, or counter;
Let's call the whole thing off!

You have an answer, and I have a checker.

(Erratum: the first two verses in the original post worked puzzle-wise, but didn't have the strict adherence to the original I wanted. They have been disciplined.)
