What is a Spoof Venus and the Ark Q 3

Honestly, I though a spoof was more like a lie from the way I have heared it used. The definition of a spoof, however, from google is vebadum "A humorous imitation of something" therefore it would only stand to reason that Venus and the Ark is a spoof of the bible stories in a fresher point of view. Anne Sexton is trying to bring back a story that one does not see as very modern and bring it in to a new age. She does this in a great way which has already been over discussed by the members of the blog, but I would like to point out that this was written in the 1980's, in which the Cold War was still going on. This explains part of the reason it is written, because this nuclear threat was most feared during the Cold War era. Her poem was trying to get people thinking about the virtue of the bible( in a time where religion was an important part of American culture, not saying it is good or bad, just stating she is appealing to her audience) and how our race needs to be more understanding of each other.
