Five little speckled frogs, Sat on a speckled log, Eating bugs so green and small, A yummy treat for one and all. One hopped into the pond so deep, To splash and play and take a leap. Then there were four speckled frogs, Sitting on their speckled log. Four little speckled frogs, Sat on a speckled log, They munched on bugs without a care, Crunchy snacks they loved to share. One hopped into the pond so wide, To swim and float and catch the tide. Then there were three speckled frogs, Sitting on their speckled log. Three little speckled frogs, Sat on a speckled log, They gobbled bugs both big and round, ’Til not a single one was found. One hopped into the pond so clear, To dive and splash, then disappear. Then there were two speckled frogs, Sitting on their speckled log. Two little speckled frogs, Sat on a speckled log, They slurped and burped with froggy glee, Such tasty treats beneath the tree. One hopped into the pond so bright, To chase the fish with all his might. Then there was one speckled frog, Sitting on his speckled log. One little speckled frog, Sat on a speckled log, He licked his lips “What a delight!” The bugs were gone by morning light. He hopped into the pond so blue, To splash and play, then shout “Yahoo!” Then there were no more speckled frogs, Just ripples on the pond, and an empty log.
