Mary Mary Contrary

Why Mary Mary is being so contrary.
Her husband Larry joined the military. 
His twin brother Barry married her twin sister.            Carrie.
Perry and Jerry Stole Gary, her pet canary.
Sold him to Rosemary's Aviary and her primary adversary.
Due to her friend Sherry she lost her job at the dairy.
Town folk are on edge, they're very wary.
For when she's mad, Mary is arbitrarily scary!
Her reputation is evolutionary legendary.
Extraordinary! Only one to calm her is her brother Harry.
