Yarn: A long rambling tale that frequently deals with adventure or tall-tales and is told in colloquial or idiomatic English.
An Example from Literature: Lincoln's Yarns and Stories: A Complete Collection of the Funny and Witty Anecdotes
My Try: Begin at April 1st and read back through the My Try section of each post and you will read a yarn.
My favorite yarn is the one about the three legged pig. It's in my book If Mama Don't Laugh, It Ain't Funny

Picked up something new here. I guess my dad would be would of the best yarn tellers I know.
The word yarn take s me back, my mother used that word very often.
Enjoyed your Y word post.

I like your yarn post. My grandpa always had good yarns to tell.
I can't think of a yarn at the moment.
I am intrigued with the story of the three legged pig!
There once was a three legged pig.
Not small, but not very big.
He walked with a jerk,
And couldn't find work,
But danced him a helluva jig!
Is this the yarn in your book? (Should be.)
