There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more
meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is
"UP." If you are not confused after reading this you
must really be messed "UP."
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or
at the top of the list but when we waken in the
morning, why do we wake UP. At a meeting, why does a
topic come UP ?
Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for
election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP
a report ?
We call UP our friends, we use it to brighten UP a
room,polish UP the silver, we warm UP the leftovers
and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and
some guys fix UP the old car.
At other times the little word has real special
meaning.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an
appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special, and this is confusing.
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP
at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP.
To be knowledgeable of the proper uses of UP, look UP
the word in the dictionary. In a desk size dictionary,
UP takes UP almost 1/4th the page and definitions add
UP to about thirty.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list
of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of
your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP
with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP.
When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP. When
it rains, it wets UP the earth. When it doesn't rain
for a while, things dry UP.
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now
my time is UP, so I'll shut UP...

Hope you all put your clocks back. I woke up thinking I had four hours sleep only to find that I had lost an hour. I couldn't go back to sleep, so I stayed up and posted up a storm!
