To Loiter

The sign said not to loiter
But I’ve never understood
The assumption that a loiterer
Is up to some no good.

So I say to all the fritterers
Or lollygagging crowd –
You should stand your ground and dally
Just as if you are allowed.

Show the world that you mean business;
You’re not plotting something crazy.
It’s American as apple pie
To slack off and be lazy.
