When the impossible is possible

I love today's challenge! We're to choose one of six statements of impossibility. We're then to write a poem in which the impossible thing happens.

I have chose the following statement: 'The sun can't rise in the west.'


The day the sun rose in the west

The day the sun rose in the west,
the clock's hands ticked anti-clockwise
and the water went down the drain 
in the wrong direction

People started walking backwards
and laughed when they should have cried

I wore the wrong shoe on the wrong foot
and forgot to brush my teeth

But then I remembered 

It was Monday morning
and I'd woke up at the bottom of my bed

Nothing is right 
on a Monday
