need a new can by the door —
uninvited guests

relatives — told not to come
invade like roaches

OR

told not to stop by
dh ill — can’t entertain
jerks come anyway

OR

unwelcome intruders
asked not to come
descend
like leaches at night

intruding relatives
asked not to come
descend
like leaches at night

unwelcome relatives
asked not to come
descend like leaches at night
