The Bloodhound that Could Sew

Off course I avoid you.
Why would I want to be around a blood hound 
sniffing around - looking for faults.
I know what and where my faults are
because I keep slipping into the same ones.

You bloodhounds may have good sniffers
but the eyesight not so much...
or you would have noticed 
that my faults are not as wide as before.
I try every now and again to stitch them up
to stem the flow of blood.

I've got some bloodhound in me also
that happens to be my biggest fault.
I can see your faults are a bit wider than before
Have you misplaced your needle and thread?
