I learned about food and first teeth
From watching a small baby
Although she doesn't yet possess
A food vocabulary
When she likes a favourite food
She reaches out, keen for more
Then when she's eaten quite enough
She falls asleep - on the floor
If she likes a big banana
She will quickly gulp it down
But if a new food disgusts her
She shows - throws it on the ground
When she chucks her milk bottle down
It's always a loud surprise
But my quick jumping up and down
Is good granny exercise
I always trust fate has a plan
So it's my fervent belief
Each day, each cry's a vital step
Signalling soon we'll see teeth 
One day she'll grow her second teeth
On her big day, I'm in line
Old teeth will be treasured by me
By that time I'll have lost mine!
This granny will be tooth fairy
Those teeth I buy won't be sold
We should collect and keep first teeth
For second smilehood when we're old.

Inspired by grand-child Ava who has two teeth and likes bananas.
Second smile hood is a pun on second childhood. I was thinking of toothless but thought smile was a more positive word.
