Crossword Genius

Pray do perform satire (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parody

'satire' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'pray do perform' is the wordplay.
'perform' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'performed' mean this).
'pray'+'do'='praydo'
'praydo' with letters rearranged gives 'PARODY'.

(Other definitions for parody that I've seen before include "Travesty" , "Spoof, lampoon" , "Satirical imitation" , "Send up" , "Make a mockery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
