27 scatological sonnets written by Guvernor Morris for his friends, privately printed and distributed at a masque. Each one featured an original dirty drawing by Albert Kook. An unknown number were printed on fine vellum and hand-stitched at Rathersbone and Son's, Brooklyne, in March, 1800. There are no known copies and the Morris estate denies any ever existed. Milton Rogers, however, disagrees, offering examples and almost conclusive proof that the volume enjoyed the patronage of several founding fathers. The discovery of Sonnet 27 has since caused much controversy in historical circles and is endlessly recited at AA gatherings.
Ben Franklin called it "delightful, prurient, poop-filled," and was rebuked soundly for a "striking lack of aesthetic morals." (Hamilton, 1801)
Excerpted
--- Sonnet no. 27
- Upon the morning so bright and shiny
- I did so ramble over hill and glade
- To pick the cherry of Jefferson's maid
- And to pack the Polish sausage betwixt the hiny
- And then Adam's slave by midmorning made
- My little man at full attention stand
- And from bush to barn with firm dick in hand
- Did expose myself in the myrtle’s shade
- Then lunch and coffee me and Albert Kook
- To the taverns for the distractions
- Me two young negress Al a dirty book
- Shared pokes during hot girl-on-girl action
- A couple more brandies and a twice more rum
- Still ain’t enough to poke me fat wife's bum
