Silent But Deadly

They can be silent but deadly
Or even loud and proud
It sometimes fills an empty room
Or even when there's a crowd

It's smell is one you'll recognize
For most have smelled it before
It's stench is undescribable
From beneath the bathroom door

It comes when you least expect it
But everyone knows it's there
The odor is overwhelming
We're mostly too sick to care

If you think I'm talking 'bout cuttin' the cheese
Well, that's not it at all
For once again. if you know me,
It's just my mother-in-law
