Young Steven thought he would be slick
And give dear old Santa a trick
Then with a mean smile
He put coal in a pile
And built a big fire very quick
Ole Santa arrived in his sleigh
So cheerily joyful and gay
He made a quick leap
Down the chimney so steep
And found himself in a bad way
In his haste Santa failed to spy
The smoke curling up in the sky
The hot fire toasted
His chestnuts got roasted
And he shot back up with a cry
Then Santa was beside himself
No longer a jolly old elf
He vowed to get even
With rotten young Steven
Then spied his sock by the hearth shelf
So Santa snuck in the back door
And spotted some coal on the floor
He stuffed Steven’s sock
With so much coal rock
That it couldn’t hold anymore
Now kiddies be good when you play
And do what your wise parents say
‘Cause If you don’t mind
You surely will find
Your sock full of coal Christmas Day

Oh Oh Oh,
as a child I asked my parents how Saint Nick could get down the chimney as he was too fat and it was too hot. They told me he was really thin (Saint Nicholas was before Coca Cola got involved!!) and he was fireproof too.
I like and applaud Steven's prank and your verse.

A limerick chain! How fine!
Your humor always delights me and this poem did just that. I try to write limericks and even one is hard for me to do. 
You have inspired me to try, again!
