Yes, it is "UP" a Steep Hill

"UP" Lovers of the English
language might enjoy this..... 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", 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 . 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. One could go on and
on, but I'll wrap it "UP", for
now my time is "UP",
so............. 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"
