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
election and why is it UP to the secretary to
write UP a report?
We call UP our friends,
brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver,
warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen.
We lock UP the house and
fix UP the old car.
At other times this 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 UP the 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 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 soaks UP 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 !
Oh....one more thing:
What is the first thing you
do in the morning & the last thing you do at
night?
U
P !
Did that one crack you UP?
Don't screw UP.
Send this on to everyone you look UP in your address book..or not...it's UP to you.
Don't forget when your angry at someone it's Up Yours!!!!!
Now
I'll shut UP
