In what way is the house's "speech" like nursery rhymes, and what is the purpose of this choice?

The house's speech is like nursery rhymes in that it uses simple words, repetition, and rhyme. This has a number of effects on the reader: it is ironically humorous, it underscores the limits of technology, and it reminds the reader that the function of the house is to pamper the family, like children.
