My poppa's trick

I'd sit on his lap, content as can be,
until he'd slide those dentures out
and giggle with glee..
My two year old self would reach out
to grab, he'd suck them back in
before I could nab..
Eventually as I aged, his trick
no longer clearly amazed..
No longer as curious and wide eyed,
I'd yell "stupid Poppa" and
from his lap slide..
