Ronny was an adventurous soul
as well as a daredevil.
He was also a born again Christian
who talked in tongues.
He was curious too, decided to attend
a Pentecostal snake handling
religious meeting deep in Kentucky
led by the famous Reverend Notts.
When the reverend handed him
a hissing rattler to hold,
Ronny caught up in the religious fervor,
grabbed it a little too tightly.
The rattler, angry as hell, bit Ronny on
the neck,
and Ronny saw blazing white light
bright as the sun.
Seconds later, Ronny passed out and died,
maybe he made it to heaven.
