Phenominal 2 letter word

[annie]

I never knew one  word in  English language that can be a  noun, verb, adj, adv,  prep.    UP 
 
    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 (if there is  a tie, it is a  toss  UP)  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  blocked  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 (UP to)  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 and 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 and 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. 
Now  I'll shut UP
