good writing. You didn't really state the answer but I understood it was milk overall I thought it was great.
I didn't really get it but now that I see the anser I guess it makes sense
Got the spilled milk half quickly but missed the sour milk, well done
I don't get the last part to the answer. How is it offensive?
its offensive because if its left on the floor it will get spoiled and stink
Silly me thought it was manure. That shows you how well my mind is functioning today.
HUH? I'm confused.... must be a slow brain day for me.
Thanks for the comments and riddle assistance.. have to clean things up.. wouldn't want to "spoil" anybody's day!
You write these kinds of puzzles very well. Kudos.
I came up with two answers for this one though: milk or an onion.
As far as I can tell, all of the lines describe an onion as well.

Thanks for the Kudos ataglance and I think an onion works pretty well too and would spoil as well if left out for too long. Welcome to Braingle and Happy Valentine's Dar!
That was great!
Good Job!
Just thought that maybe in the answer it should have said that the answer was milk ........... I thought that's what is was, but then read the answer and said , what???? Still a good teaser, I just didn't all of those answers......
Very clever.I didn't get correct anawer, but after seeing it, it does make perfect sense. Good teaser.
Nice teaser I got it from just the question, but the hint "udderly" gives it away
A little far fetched
you seriously expeckt anyone to get that made up teaser
I got it - and I thought it was good!
I thought it was cow poop, (that someone stood in walking across a field), but then I realised that would be too offensive for braingle, and I realised spilled milk fitted a little better.
'twas a find poem - and a pretty good teaser. But I thought it was a little too easy.
great teaser
At first I thought it was a cow patty, too! But then I've always believed milk is just one stomach away from being manure. Good Teaser. I finally guessed it.
Very good teaser... Keep 'em coming!!
And for the record, puttumup, EVERY teaser is a made up teaser. Someone had to make them up at one point in time..

very cute! I liked it!
Very clever, not too hard, but not too easy. Thanks Z.
I believe it would be offensive,
to answer someone's question,
because sour milk would smell & dry hard & yellow if left there !
I thought of a cow without the hint but did not get the answer
Thanks anyway

I'm crying over spilled milk, at 3.98 a gallon!
A bit too vague - a cow patty was also on my mind.
Very well done. I was thinking curdled milk.
hahaha, Bo, verrrry funny! Great riddle! I didn't guess it though, even with the "udderly" obvious hint! Peeps: there's a famous saying: "Don't cry over spilt milk." If you've ever heard that saying, and most people have, you realize that there were numerous hints, it wasn't vague at all. "Don't cry for me" being one of the best, and the hint of the word "udderly".
I was thrown off by "from ONCE green pastures...", Bo, because that implies they aren't green anymore, and that had me stuck. So, I have a valid reason that I didn't get it, not like all these "it's too vague" type excuses!
Definitely a wonderful poem as well. Thanks!

It's fairly easy to get milk thanks to the first part, though it is a teeny bit farfetched as someone mentioned. Still, well written!
I thought onion, also. then cow. Good one!
Offensive: is correct!
PLEASE put on some good teasers!
spilled milk just dries up into a film which flakes off
I thought it was a cow patty. Just goes to show where mind was at.
Thanks for the post.

Hi; Looks like this one made the rounds as TOD again. It was one of my first attempts and not my best product. In my house, even a dry flaky milk ring is offensive (just ask my wife!), but I guess for some it is not at all unusual. Thanks for all the comments and I just consider the source for the sour posts. I always check to see what they have contributed to the site. Usually only comments.
great teaser..I could only get part of it as my brain isn't cooperating too well today (then again I don't know what today has to do with it.. )
Cute! I laughed at the answer "Sour milk on the floor - definitely offensive." For some reason it struck me as funny (just the way it's written).
