We do it pirate-style

Dear Management Consultant:
How would you recommend that I demonstrate my reaction, if I was a pirate, to employees who are seriously behind on two projects and spend practically an entire day on revenue-void tasks as seen below? I am not looking to get arrested as I have too much to do this week to spend a whole lot of time in the pokey.

The national anthem, sung like a pirate!

Aarh! say can yer be seein' by th' dawn`s aarly loight (arr)
What s' proud we ha' hailed 'pon th' twilight's larst a'gleamin',
Wharse brad stroipes 'n' bri'e starrs, t'rough yon parlous a-brawlin'
O'er the ramp'rts we squinter'd, wa' sae gallantly a'streamin' (arr)
And yon rocket's bloody-rad glarrin', the bombs a'barstin' in aar
Ga' warran' through th' narght, that our'n jolly roger be still thar
(aar)
Aarh! say do yon star-spangled pennan' e'er wave
O'er th' land o' th' free an' th' homeport o' th' brave?
(Ya horn swollgin' lily-livered scurvy swabbie!) (aar!)

Just to prove that loving America doesn't come in a box marked, white,
english-speaking, conservatives. And to those who insist that we must
all love, love, love America, then turn around and yell, "But you're
not doing it right!" they can kiss my poxy pirate arse, ya lubbers!
(Aarh!)
