A finer spreadsheet, there never was
Your rows; yours columns; your formulas
Your data validation limits my input
And your auditing toolbar serves, when there’s errors afoot
At pivoting data, you have no equal
And your Find command always helps me to seek well
Styles are the best when I want to format
Autocorrect rescues me when my fingers are fat
There is but one thing that would send me to heaven
If only I could type in column 257

But to what sort of lengths would you go:

Ah, the color with no rhyme.
Dick, you went first, you have only yourself to blame.
Ode To Excel Redux
When last I looked Excel had crashed
It’s hourglass cursor spinning
What had I done, is all lost
or was a dll just missing

My daughter’s favorite:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Some poems rhyme
But this one doesn’t
