Usually kids like Joe would be asking a parent to do this. I taught my kids the use of a thesaurus when very young, and how to paraphrase the research books so that it wouldn’t be plagiarism.
Now is that the traditional “Casey Jones” or the one by the Grateful Dead?
“Drivin’ that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you better watch your speed. Trouble ahead, trouble behind, And you know that notion just crossed my mind.”
There are three different songs that I know of, and they tell three different stories. The oldest one paints Jones as a hero, a later one says he was a union-busting scab and deserved what he got, and the Grateful Dead version (lyric by Robert Hunter) says he was high on cocaine, and also mentions a lady in red (ie a professional lady). They might all have parts of the truth….-Cougar :{)

They just don’t write great train wreck songs the way they used to…

I don’t think I’ve ever heard that one.

I feel for that homework lady that is a lot of talking. Joe should get the book and read.
