my dictionary was once light and airy

my dictionary was once light and airy
But now it’s grown, it’s growly and bear-y
I think of it as cuddly like Drew Carey
or my cousins Perry, Terry and Jerry

my dictionary said he wants to marry
But thesaurus said no, according to Sherry
I try to keep them separate like me and Terry
But it does not work, said my mother Mary
