I like his poems, i get my drunk uncles in my ear with them whenever im down in edinburgh. I think he is still totally relevant and totally deserves a day of drinking named for him. "Life's cares they are comforts"-a maxim laid down By the Bard, what d'ye call him, that wore the black gown; And faith I agree with th' old prig to a hair, For a big-belly'd bottle's a heav'n of a care."
