Stereotypes
Stereotypes are confirmed easily
An obese man at the Old Country Barfett
A fart conversation at a teen boy party
A cute thin woman at the natural food store
A curmudgeon old man who is a bore.
Stereotypes broken are harder
Catholics and Lutherans agreeing on Grace
A US President with an African face
Government spending that isn’t a hand-out
CEO’s who care a crap about ___.
I like to shatter stereotypes.
I am a conservative socialist.
I play guitar with an stiff wrist.
I eat healthy but drink cheap wine.
I’m an old fart who let’s his light shine.

Hi David!
Well, you cover several of the stereotypes in your closing verse: "old" "fart" "cheap wine" "healthy as another word for thin" (not necessarily....). I am alive with stereotype, when it comes to light's shining!
Hugs,
Kim
