So what is this stuff about English being easy? There is a two-letter
  word that perhaps has more meaning 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 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 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 of the proper uses of UP, look UP the word in the
  dictionary. In a desk size dictionary,  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 awhile, 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 .....!
