Read until the end......you'll laugh....
This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word
is 'UP.' It is listed in the
dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky
or at the top of the list, but when we awaken 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
electionand why is it UP to the secretary to
writeUP a
review? We call UP our Reviewiends,
brighten UP a room,polish UP the
silver, warm UPthe leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We
lock UPthe house and
fixUPthe old
car.
At other times this little word has real special
meaning. People stir UP trouble,
lineUPfor
tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one
thing but to be dressed UP is
special.
And this UP is confusing: A
drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We
open UPa store in the morning but we close it UPat
night.We seem to be pretty mixed
UPabout UP !
To be
knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UPthe word UP in the dictionary.. In a desk-sized
dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about
thirty definitions
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many waysUP is used. It will takeUPa lot of your time,but if you don't giveUP, 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
soaksUP the
earth. When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on & on, but I'll wrap
it UP, for now ........my time is UP !
Send this on to everyone you
look UP in your address
book..or not...it's UP to you.
Now I'll shut UP
