psst!
whatcha doing over there
huh?
brought yo'self over heah
I got sumtin' to told you; that being . . .
how's about
you squandering a few hours, minutes
with me
huh? why-don'ja?
we got nothing but time on our side
how 'bout let's squander some of it together?
I need my fire lit
did you bring the necessary equipment
for starting 'em?
ah, you always have that with you, huh?
that's what I thought
so whatcha say
wanna get loose together?
take our own sweet time
who's to know?
who's to care?
you're here, so am I
ain't natural we don’t get something started
heck, we might even put the fire out
and have to reheat, give it another charge
come on, sweet thing
fan my flame . . .

I worked with a woman from Louisiana a few years ago. This sounds just like her.

Haha! Yeah, actually I didn't get too heavy on the Cajun slang language, Ida, nobody would have known what I was saying.
