Deadly Flatus

I accidentally let one loose
one you hope no one had noticed 
so guilty, face like a red spruce 
acting like I hadn't the remotest,

It was lethal, Silent and deadly 
people retching, gasping for breath
I don't think they'll easily forgive me
well their relatives for causing their deaths,

imagine an elevator full of corpses 
Only I survived, suspected of foul play
questioning me about unnatural causes 
trying to explain what happened today,

Gained information from specific sources
they said I was a professional assassin 
trained by some foreign special forces
all because I couldn't keep my gas in.
