Venus and the Ark Spoof

I feel like Anne Sexton made it pretty obvious that her poem was supposed to be a spoof. A spoof is like an imitation of something, and Sexton imitated Noah's Ark and other biblical stories. There is lots of evidence in her poem to prove this. First off, the name Venus and the Ark just sounds like Noah's Ark. In the poem, the two male Ph.D.'s took animals to Venus. In Noah's Ark, Noah took one of every animal on the ark. Also, Anne Sexton wrote "on the seventh month", while in the Bible, it says "on the seventh day."This is a very famous quote referencing the creation of the world. I don't think Anne Sexton's spoof was meant to be humorous, but simply an imitation.
