Recess Cancelled

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has told Members of Parliament that their customary Spring recess will be cancelled.  

Amid groans and cries of "Not fair!" and "Gee whiz, Mr. Harper!" the stern but loving PM went on to say there would be strict punishment for chewing gum or passing notes, and that the yo-yos and water pistols he had confiscated would say in his desk until the end of term.  

"That's enough grumbling," he said.  "If I hear any more, there will be no cookies at nap time."  

"And," he concluded, "I've got my eye on you, Mikey Ignatieff."
