Ooh - Ahhh...cootchy-coo...
no, you didn't hear me wrong,
it's time to 'aah' and 'ooo'...
What could such a thing mean?
Folks, I'm glad you asked!
The Duch-ess of Suss-ex's
-only just this ver-y day...
given birth to a bonny wee boy!
Oh, let's all dance in the aisles,
clap our hands and jump for joy...
Why, all's well and good
within our world
once again...
We've no cause at all
for doom and gloom
But that's not all, folks...
not one little bit!
Oh, no sirree...
NZ's PM's just been seen
with - upon her ring finger -
guess what - an engagement ring!
Oh no, you didn't hear me wrong,
things're just exactly as I say
-I kid you not!
And, topping the latter,
I hear a wedding's on the way!
Oh, geeps and creepers
- 'holy molee!'
...what can we say...
oh what indeed?
So, joy to the world
-let the partying begin!
It's almost as if
the Saviour's come again!
It matters not, folks,
no, it really don't...
for 'all is right with our world',
and things're on the up and up...
So, all you cynics, nay-sayers et al,
- those who might be deemed
Misery Guts Inc(orporated) -
don't you fear, for
'a baby's born today'!
Look not upon...
the exponentially increasing
destruction
- on every hand -
of Planet Earth's
biodiversity, ecosystems,
flora and fauna
(150 species globally
each and every day)
Nor the ongoing upsurge,
the never-ending intensification
of flood and fire,
drought and famine,
plague and pestilence,
epidemic and pandemic...
Nor the Doomsday Clock's
inexorable movement
each and every single day
closer and closer
to deadest midnight...
...whether spawned and fed,
pollinated and fertilized,
by climate change
or nuclear war...
or simply pseudo-scientific
human 'ingenuity',
be that drones,
'A(rtificial)I(ntelligence)',
a sci-fi 'space war'
or 'good 'ole' clones...
Yes, the renewed
resurgence
-on every hand-
of all of these
-and so much more-
here and there
and seeming everywhere
tells one
in oh, no uncertain terms
whatsoever...
'It's time to party, folks...
and let's get to it!
But didn't one also say, as follows...
And in that day the Lord GOD
of hosts
Called for weeping and for
mourning,
For baldness and for girding
with sackcloth.
But instead, joy and gladness,
Slaying oxen and killing sheep,
Eating meat and drinking
wine:
"Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we die!"
Then it was revealed in my
hearing by the LORD of hosts,
"Surely for this iniquity there
will be no atonement for
you,
Even to your death,"
says the Lord GOD of hosts.

Incidentally, I don't believe either the young royals (Prince Harry or Meghan) or, for that matter, Prime Minister of Aotearoa-New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, can be blamed or held responsible personally for the media obsession with such matters...
...though, at the same time, it's a fine point as to whether or not they can be argued as having - however subtly - courted such media obsession (whether now or in times past)...
