Carlton

There was once a man named Carlton 
From the city of Walton.
He was big and bulk,
His Hair colored like a skunk. 
There was a lady he could not bear to see,
His emotions towards her, what could they be?
Every time she passed he would freeze,
Pretending to be reaching his knees.
This constant dilemma got to a point,
A security guard she had to appoint.
One day she stopped and greeted him hello,
Little did she know that he would start a show. 
The shock in his face, so great was his awe
Before everybody knew he was shuddering like a macaw.
Not knowing what to do He choked on a fart,
Tremendous explosion that reached his heart. 
No one will know what  went through his head,
Our dear Carlton had never a word said.
