There's a great "Yom Kippur" short story by I.L. Peretz: Neilah in Gehenna.  

I can't find the text online after a cursory search, but it is worth tracking down.

Now, wha this tale o' truth shall read,
Ilk man and mother's son, take heed:
Whene'er to Drink you are inclin'd,
Or Cutty-sarks rin in your mind,
Think ye may buy the joys o'er dear;
Remember Tam o' Shanter's mare

But did he credit me?

No, and Tucker didn't call him on it. Lawsuit time.
