Why I name my items

I believe all items deserve a name,
Just as all people deserve a little fame,
So I name all my things,
So I’ve said it before,
I named all my items,
Even my door.

I have a kind friend,
He lives in my shed,
He hangs on my wall,
For that is his bed.
Yet he complains not at all,
Because he knows I have given him a name to call.

I have a bud,
His name is Jake.
I use him for leaves,
Because he’s a rake.
Everything deserves a name.

But back to my door,
She’s a real beauty,
And she seems to think,
My car door is a cutie.

Everything deserves a name,
Even a door, even a rake,
Because if they don’t,
They might eat you like steak.
