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 enlessly recited at AA gatherings.

Ben Franklin called it "delightful, prurient, poop-filled."
