This poet wrote a satirical epitaph for the womanizing James Smith, which concludes "Perhaps he was your father!" One poem by this author contains a brief paean to whiskey and other spirits, saying "Inspiring bold John Barleycorn, what dangers thou canst make us scorn!" The title character of that poem gets drunk and sees a vision of "warlocks and witches in a dance" in Alloway Kirk, calling one of the witches Cutty-sark. This author of "Tam O'Shanter" also wrote a poem dedicated to a "timorous beastie" and one comparing the speaker's love to a "red, red rose." For 10 points, name this poet of "To a Mouse" and "Auld Lang Syne."
