Tomorrow People
A show no one has heard of
Do you watch it too?
Mosquitoes scare me
I never play laser tag
Am I neurotic?
Shaun Hately
John, Liz or Adam
Who is the better leader
It comes down to style
A new human race?
Or just a bunch of nutters
Who think they can jaunt?
Why did it finish?
Because the powers that be
Have no sense at all
Mike is just foolish
In my humble opinion
It should be yours too
Timothy O'Neal
Monsoon Man frightens
Has large weather laserbeam thingy
Very sad story
Origin story
Wonderful Background Music
Brownie, anyone?

There was a young woman named Jade
Who never stayed put where she layed
She chased Stones instead
And nearly ended up dead
But lived thanks to her powers' aid
My least favourite TP would be Mike
I'd like him impaled with a spike
I would beat out his snot
Whether he liked it or not
And tell him to go take a hike

The once was a young man called John
The first of his kind to be on
This planet called Earth
And this was the birth
Of the first Tomorrow Person
And suddenly Carol appears
And John comes and calms all her fears
"You've not lost your mind
You're merely a kind
Of new human and our time now nears"
The next was a young lad named Kenny
As bright as a new shiny penny
His TK is strong
(this we knew all along)
But as for his sense - is there any?
Next we come to the boy Stephen Jameson
Who is also a Tomorrow Person
The first one we see
How he comes to be
At the start of the very first season
Then Liz comes along as a teacher
And try as he might, John can't teach 'er
That the voices she hears
Do not come through her ears
But are a telepathic feature
The next is a young gypsy lad
Named Tyso - and while he's not bad
As a person he's fine
That I'd never malign
But his dress sense is truly sad
Patricia - it needs to be said
That while she was fighting the Reds
She herself never killed
And I was just thrilled
When she finally broke out instead
And then there was young Michael Bell
And into two groups, TP fans fell
Some said he was rotten
I think they've forgotten
His action were not criminal
Pavla's life was so tragic and brief
It is truly a source of great grief
The Russians, they killed her
As they could not control her
So strong were her TP beliefs
The 'goddess' that they called Hsui Tai
Made it difficult for Mike to fly
Her life was to end
So she'd be born again
But John and Mike would not let her die
Andrew Forbes was the next young TP
The boy who discovered the Kelpie
He just wanted to help the
Scientists to see Nessie
A far bigger wonder was he!
C. Jason Lucas
On the short-lived show, "The Tomorrow People"
Lots of crazy villains were shown
but they enlisted the help of some other people
'Cause they couldn't conquer the world alone.
"Get me a teleporter," Lady Mulvaney said.
So Colonel Masters tried
But the TP's were too smart for him
And in the end, her plan had fried
The twins always (strangely) said the same things
When Culex was around
But when she was off on a small, little errand
Insults and were their sound
Middlemass and Wilkie were the most annoying team
They worked for Colonel Cobb
Wilkie was always threatening Middlemass
And almost made him sob
Next came Mr. Tate and Scully
They were the most solemn pair
They were always sucking up to Rameses Akara
And both of them died at his lair
