Mazel Tov

A Jewish attorney, Raskolnikov,
his Buddhist half-brother, Kaletnikov,
now here comes the bother,
they mimic each other,
so who gets 'good health!' or a 'mazel tov?'

All this time I thought the last part was a play on the word. But that is actually its spelling!!! Good grief! I had never seen it written out before!

Half of the Buddhist, which would be fine because of the balance thing, and none of the Jewish attorney, because of his profession? .......jokes!, I love it keith, good words man.

What does the expression you are doing the word play on mean anyway? "good health?"
