Now *this* is penitential. ;) A little poetic license with grammar aside,
here are my best efforts:
Serapion, bishop of Thmuis,
Of Nicene adherents the truest,
Found very hilarious
The sad death of Arius,
And laughed till he turned quite the bluest.
Serapion, bishop of Thmuis,
Reviled a passing kazooist:
"Get out of my city
That Arian ditty,
Or I'll excommunicate _tuus_."
