No Peril

When entering negotiations with a criminal mastermind
Who just happens to be a dictator, cruel and unkind
   of a country with a long record of opposing freedom
   and crushing opponents to death by choosing to bleed 'em

It behooves one to be ready, prepared to the hilt
To counter the fabrications of truth that are built
   into the warp and the woof of his opponent's distortions
   by which he evades capture through myriad contortions 
 
Would you venture a guess that I'm talking 'bout Putin  
Against whom the whole civilized world is rootin'
   for seizing Georgia, Crimea and parts of Ukraine
   (along with a nice chunk of three U.S. Presidents' brains)
 
I'll bet the farm and the farmhouse that Mr. Trump sees no peril 
   ~ That in Helsinki, Putin left him cuckolded and sterile
