I would probably reply with a limerick about St Serapion. 
Incidentally, I notice that no two poets on our list have agreed about
the pronunciation of "Thmuis".  I had assumed it rhymed with "guise":

Serapion, Bishop of Thmuis,
Had a ***** of moderate suis.
He entered, in fun,
A competition,
And was lucky to win second pruis.

Oriens.
