Spreadsheet haiku

The prompt (verbatim, sent to every lane)

Write a haiku about a spreadsheet. It must contain the word "cell" (or "cells"). Reply with exactly three lines — no title, no commentary.
How scoring works

We check three non-empty lines and the word 'cell' (and reject obvious #/Title: headers). Syllables are NOT checked — whether it's a good haiku is your call. Scoring strips leading/trailing whitespace and one wrapping pair of code fences or quotes before it judges — content over ceremony. Winner rule: correct → cheapest → fastest.
