There is a two-letter word that
perhaps has more meanings than any
other two-letter word, and that is
"UP."
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 election and why is it UP to the
secretary to write UP a report ?
We call UP our friends. And 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 UP 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 about the proper uses of UP , look the
word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it
takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to
about thirty definitions. I f 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 the earth and often messes
things UP
When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap
it UP , for now my time is UP , so............ it is time to
shut UP ....!
Oh . . . one more thing:
What is the first thing you do in the morning & the
last thing you do at night? U-P
