The Monster of Chihuahua

When the moon is thin the monster walks this street.

It was called Chavela Ortiz.

It had no residence.

No husband.

No mother.

No father.

No children.

BUT

It had six legs, a golden jewel and pearls, and there it kept the portrait of Don Angel Vidrio Gonzalez, the head of the Sanitary Department.

The monster said: “Fives and fours, fives and fours, fives and fours, 5+4, 5+4, 5+4,” and after that the monster made up the total.
