NaPoWriMo 2018-22 -- Day 22, Don't say "Can't", at least not to me

Wild ideas for Day 22;
  "Can'ts," by definition;
   Disputed by the Engineer
   bred into your writer,
   and that's "them" saying that

The sun can’t rise in the west
That's by definition
   Best watched in a mirror
   that's faced the other way

A circle can’t have corners
That's by definition,
   Traffic circle with a
   corner or two or three
  (look for when you travel)

Pigs can’t fly
That's by definition,
   My pigs fly United

The clock can’t strike thirteen
That's by definition
   I can build one that does

The stars cannot rearrange themselves in the Universe
That's by definition
Already done by God
   But we can change their names

A mouse can’t eat an elephant
That's by definition
   Actually can, bite by bite

Notes: 

(1)  At the Poetry site, National NaPoWriMo2018, this was my prompt for today:  

Basically "visualize" an idea, deemed by those lucky souls who can, to be impossible.  (There was a list and I chose all of them--but then I only wrote a line or two for each.)  Then write telling how they may not be true.  To me since I don't visualize well they are possible.  Always then the final command is to "WRITE."  I like to write, I picked them all, giving each one verse.  (Their saying written above are in Italics.)

Happy writing!

(2)  The pigs are two of my toy pigs.  The top pig was given to me by our Vetenarian one day when he visited.  I was fairly young then.  The bottom pig is a door stop.  Mrs. Jim gave it to me, I cannot remember the occasion.  I had written about the pigs in a 2008 blog,
