"The Spangled Pandemonium" is a popular children's poem by Palmer Brown. It is often studied and memorized by children in primary grades across Canada and the United States^{[citation needed]}. It is often considered a "nonsense" poem since a "spangled pandemonium" is a made-up concept. A "spangle" means to be decorated with shiny objects (a "spangled banner") while pandemonium means craziness. A "spangled pandemonium" can then be taken to be some form of animal that is decorated with craziness.
