Try this Exciting 'harbored' Tongue Twister Challenge

Harbored Harry ate heaps of honey by the harbor, But his belly grew big, becoming an impediment to his ardor. So, in a hurry, he hurried to the haberdasher, To buy a new wardrobe, customized for his harbored blubber. He tried on a patterned shirt, haphazardly harboring fluff, And a pair of pants that harbored his ample stuff. The haberdasher chuckled, his laughter rolling like thunder, As Harry struggled to squeeze his harbored mass without surrender. With determination and vigor, he squeezed and contorted, His harbored frame insisting, hoping to be cohorted. He finally wedged himself in, buttoning the shirt with glee, But alas, his harbored belly protruded for all to see. Harbored Harry huffed and puffed, full of mirth and cheer, His harbored blubber a hilarious sight, nothing to fear. He wobbled down the harbor, causing laughter and delight, Harboring happiness, spreading laughter with all his might. So remember, my friend, when feeling harbored and blue, Embrace your quirks, for they make life truly amuse. You may harbor giggles, even if you harbor some fluff, Just like Harbored Harry at the harbor, a comedic rebuff!
