The Overrated

From a Happening Bar 
Staggered into his car
And after forty miles 
Still rich in The Saved’s Smiles, 
As he foully staggered out…
Against huge hopes of a lout 
Of a crashing incident 
If not a killing accident…   

A character people hyped:
A wrong name on the lists typed;
One needing to stand erect 
Allowed ‘Star who’d direct’; 
Just the magical result 
That denies The Due insult… 

Who has Charles overrated
And gifts exaggerated 
And speed accelerated?

Just A Power over Beer
And maker of lingered leer
