Um.... sorry, i'm still not quite.getting this one. 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.
