If they ever advance the conversational skills of the device, I can just imagine some drunk guy at a party or wedding reception carrying on a heated debate with the centerpiece.

Little bread-and-butterflies kiss the tulips,
and the sun is like a toy balloon.

in the golden afternoon.
There are dizzy daffodils on the hillside,
strings of violets are all in tune,
Tiger lilies love the dandy lions,
in the golden afternoon,
the golden afternoon.
