So for the last four weeks, I've been taking a class at UNLV called ENG407A, English Business Writing, where a large portion of your final grade is a massive team project. The course is the most intense and demanding course that I have ever taken, testing teamwork, accountability, responsibility, and leadership in some very real-world applicable situations. Falling even a day behind can (for most who do not compensate) will result in failure.
For three weeks, I've been involved in a group project, of which the final portion is due at 11:59PM, tonight. To be blunt, 16 out of the last 21 days my life, between eight to twelve hours/day, have been spent cleaning up after three excuse-ridden, sycophantic teammates. I get the e-mail today, asking what 'the plan' for our project due on this Blue Monday, at 11:59 PM is. Pretty much our entire grade for the five-week course is based on this project. Here is my response:
XXX, I was wondering if your radio station could play this song today, and dedicate it from Kenny Hsiung, to you guys [my team]. It’s the right genre, and also a classic, from the motion picture, ‘Not Another Teen Movie’. I’ll be working diligently on my Personal Project Assessment Memo. (PPAM is where we evaluate and grade each individual teammate, their strengths/weaknesses, and what they did or did not contribute during the project, also due tonight, at 11:59PM).

Here are the lyrics copy/pasted directly from LyricsAZ. I think it would read as a beautiful poem as well.
How does it feel
To treat me like you do
When you've laid laid your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how do I feel
Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They will turn away no more
And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today
I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortunes
I'd be a heavenly person today
And I thought I was mistaken
And I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how should I feel
Now I stand here waiting
I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold
(grows cold, grows cold, grows cold)
