4. A scorched descendant of Girion
5. It’s raining on the talan
6. A fair-haired siege engine
7. “Get lost, Gamgee!”
8. A street named after the Master of Shire-moot
9. A dull-witted Baggins

13. A playground in Eastfold
14. Legend of an Erebor city
15. Jack of all trades and mill owner

#4 Burnt Brand doesn't rhyme (in English) 
These must be more difficult for you if English isn't your 1st language?

#3 "Hose"? rhymes well but 'hose' is not a proboscis.. (mistype?)
#9 "Slow Bilbo" sorta works, but there's a better one.
#11 Should be "Helm's Realms" to keep the rhyming words consecutive. But it works, so credit due.
#14. Same as #11 - "A Dale Tale"
I originally thought of "A Cram lam" for #12, but "scram" works just as well.
Thanks for playing

TBH, I was thinking about my early Animal Sciences classes where they said that a honey-bee's proboscis was sort of like a 'straw' or 'hose'.

#9 Dodo Frodo rhymes best I guessed
#10 Hmm- works somewhat, but there is a better retort I report

***
He was born of mortal frailty mixed with Elven fallen realm,
Comin’ home to a land he’d never been before.
Arvernian behind him, sailed the seas of Middle-earth,
You might say he didn’t know what lay in store.
When his wife came out to find him she'd been turned into a bird,
Upon her breast there shone a shining star,
So he took her to his bosom, and by morn her form returned,
And he shifted West to find the high Valar.
And in Valinor he went before the high,
In doing so, resigned himself to die.
Take up arms against the Shadow, asked he of the high,
of the Valar high. (Fight, fight the Shadow)
of the Valar high. (Fight, fight the Shadow)

13 out of 15. Hmmm - may be a new worlds record.
#2 rhymes but is not Tolkienesque...
#10 lots of good tries but there is a bolder boulder which
has a more sublime rhyme.
Thanks
