Five Green and Speckled Frogs (also recorded as "Five Speckled Frogs," "Five Little Speckled Frogs," and "Three Little Speckled Frogs") is a popular children's song and nursery rhyme sung in many daycare centers. It is also often sung to babies when they are learning how to swim, in "parent and tot" swim classes. In this context it is usually sung as the children first enter the pool, and the number "five" is adjusted to match the number of children in the swim class.

“At twelve, the disintegration of afternoon
Began, the return to phantomerei, if not
To phantoms. Till then, it had been the other way:
One imagined the violet trees but the trees stood green,
At twelve, as green as ever they would be.
The sky was blue beyond the vaultiest phrase.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“A speckled cat and a tame hare
Eat at my hearthstone
And sleep there;
And both look up to me alone
For learning and defence
As I look up to Providence.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The standards of His Majesty’s taste made all those ladies who aspired to his favour, and who were near the Statutable size, strain and swell themselves, like the frogs in the fable, to rival and bulk and dignity of the ox. Some succeeded, and others burst.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
