This isn't my nomination, but I'm confused about the Mewlips being in the tag set under The Hobbit book. They don't ever appear there, or have any association with it as far as I know. They're from a poem by Tolkien (called "The Mewlips") which appears in a collection of poems called "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and Other Verses from the Red Book," most commonly found in The Tolkien Reader. The title of the poetry collection implies that these verses were collected by Bilbo or other LOTR characters. Some of the poems have an obvious connection with Middle-earth, and some of them (like The Mewlips) have no clear connection except for their atmosphere and the fact of their being in this collection.
(It's a wonderfully creepy poem, though, and I'd be happy to see the Mewlips in the tag set somewhere.)
