Succinctly yours: can't proliferate

You can’t proliferate in Detroit City,

Iguana, go home,
Iguana, go home,
Oh, please, iguana, go home.

including YouTube link.

Succinctly Yours
hosted every week by Grandma's Goulash, in which Grandma asks us: "How low can you go?"
Well, maybe not as low as that iguana, but I did my best. The "rules" state: 140 characters or 140 words, and using the word of the week is optional. This week's word is "proliferate"!

    Dear Kay,

    You play the words so well but when you say " Iguana, go home " it remind me about youtube, Tuxedo cat live with the big lizard like Iguana. And he use The lizard as a pillow..So Funny !!! ( You can check it out in my FB, Under Sparkle's Post )

    I hope you have a great day, and I hope You and Dick sleep well. Purrs
    xoxo

    A delightful and creative leap that makes a wonderful mf. I fear I'll be singing "Iguana Go Home" for the rest of the evening. lol
