I think it is, agreeing with this comment.
To me it's a mondegreen. Sure, an intentional one, with the visual representation probably necessary for full effect, but a mondegreen nonetheless.
However, I then wikipedia'd pun, only to find a number of definitions and examples which suggest otherwise. So ... [my 2c] To label something a pun, the key word or phrase should have two meanings, one of which is contextually appropriate and the other humerous / insightful. [/my 2c]
