Eru Ilúvatar lived in a timeless state,
Then he created the Ainur to sing his magnum opus. Wait….
The one who had most power,
Melkor, sang his section sour,
Ilúvatar got rather dour,
He sang Eä! (he let the Ainur in).
Melkor, in jealousy, he sought to mar the symphony
That all started with the first word. (BANG!)

Blush Be forlorn for Forn?
MOURN FORN (Dwarves name for Bombadil.) Gottcha on one anyway! Although forlorn ain't all that bad a try..

*Mourn* of course!!!! i should have taken longer on that one. (yeah right...  !)
Also I think I missed the one about Mrs Burrows #23, what was the answer to that? I forgot to give that one another try.
Thanks for the fun challenge, Bracegirdle! I found this one even more difficult than the previous one. Cleverly done! And it's hard for me to resist a chance at rhyming.

#23 Maybe 'cause you had so much fun with it...
Trying to get the emPHAsis on the right syllABle *chuckle*
Ms. Burrows wore a corset>>>>>> A Myrtle girdle 
She is only mentioned (I think) in the Baggins Family Tree
Right! For some reason these seemed to be harder than the 1st one; not sure why?
But with all the traffic these seem to draw they must be WAY too hard for the average Bear out There! 
Ah well, they're fun to make up anyhoo...
Thx again for playing. Without you I would have had the BIG Goose's eggses in the reply Dept.

Girdle, of course! I should have spent more time brainstorming synonyms for corset....
'Twas my pleasure BG! I hope this won't be the last of your rhyming quizzes.

“Better a late mouse than no mouse a’tall.”
That IS an old saw is it not?
17. The descent of Eregion
fallin’ Hollin (Correct)
18. A solitary hill>>> Hmm..... alone then Amon Hen (is four words but mice can't count. That's why they never play the number games!)
Well, one mouse I know does pretty darn well. How about a SOLE DOL?
19. By her own effort the Noldor Princess became a success>>>> Aredhel did awfully well (told you mice couldn't count )
But they can Rhyme awful well (no pun, ha!) How about A SELF-MADE ELF-MAID?
22. A slothful Dwarf>>>> snorin' Borin
Got me! One for the Mouse! I got A LOAFER BOFUR…
23. Ms. Burrows wore a corset>>>> Did she now? Well, I think that's personal!
But not to a BraceGIRDLE. A MYRTLE GIRDLE
24. If Mithlond had several earth-quakes we might have>>>> Havens..... er..... ravens? (hardly).... mavens? (unlikely).... maybe caverns? Not convinced....
You started on the right mousey foot. HAVENS CAVE-INS
27. If we overloaded the Master of Mithlond we would>>> Weigh down Cirdan?
Nice rhyme BURDEN CIRDAN. Is that “Weigh down upon the Cirdan River”?
28. Grubb's Pub YAY! Cheese for the mouse. 29 & 30 Tooo!
Thanks favorite Mouse of mine! Hope 'twas some fun. . .
