TWO RHYMING RIDDLES

1)
Neat and tidy as can be,
I have no hands and cannot see;
A hundred legs, but cannot stand,
My long neck at your command.

2)
To a two-letter beast add three-fifths of two score,
And let them be joined by five hundred more;
These two united will give you the name
Of a city that's high in the annals of fame.

HINT:
2. Add 3/5 of the word that means two score.

Answers:

1. Broom 

2. OXFORD - OX + FOR + D

(Three-fifths of FORTY is FOR and 
D is the Roman Numeral for five hundred.)
