The famed teshuva (which you likely are unaware of) about lulovim merkovim was a dispute between Mahari Segel and the Geonim of his time, he asked Rabbeinu Peretz to support him, Rabbenu Peretz replied with witty puns:
,רבים אומרים זנתה תמר
ואני יחיד, מה אענה מה אומר
עליך, פרץ, להפוך בזכותה
אמך היא – לא תגלה ערוותה
Several pesukim were used as puns.
