Hi! I'm trying to write some rhyming clues for a game but as i have never done this I was hoping some of you could help.

The answers I want people to get to are:
1) Prague city
2) area code 11000
3) A bank (the building they should end up at)

These would be locations they would need to find. The clues need to be quite tricky though. Not too easy to solve.
If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated as i've been trying to write them myself but it's proven to be way harder than i thought!

Thanks!

Bank
It's by the river swathed in mud,
One must do this to veer,
Whether it's bottle, sperm or blood,
The buck stops here.

I know, Keats it isn't.....

Area code 11000

You may be clever in all your finery
But how well do you know your binary?
The area code for which you seek
Is 24 most days a week.

I'm no Banjo Paterson but I'll have a shot.
Prague City.

Bohemian Rhapsody
Without Queen
Lennons image
May be seen
Where tourists gather
To see the sights
During the day
And under lights.


Prague, the historical capital of Bohemia, Lennons wall is a sort of tribute to John Lennon, it's the sixth most visited capital city, according to Wikipedia.

Thought I'd have another go.

Bank.

Seek out a store
Below a ledge
And find a fund
Right near the edge

A large deposit
You will keep
Beneath a slope
Or in a heap

Then take a vault
And stow away
Create a series
Or an array

Place your stash
Upon a mound
Show some thrift
With what you found

All lines bar the very last end with a synonym of bank.

ps: rather long lunch break today :)
may not be tricky enough

Hi Ab.
Your area code rhyme is much better than anything I could come up with. Would you mind if I pinched your idea and re-worded it a bit to give Coco some options?
Thought with out "area" and 24 it could make it a bit "tricker".
Cheers
