He would appear seated in a chair wearing a zebra-patterned smoking jacket, and reading from an oversize book lying open in his lap.  Percy would address the audience in a syrupy lisp and read his poems out of the book while sipping from a martini glass (which often had a daisy for a swizzle stick) and/or smoking through a long cigarette holder.
