Is this sentence a pun? I think it has quite a rhyme.

It's not a pun, but this is a common grammatical pattern - using similar sounding words (i.e. whenever, wherever, whoever, whatever, etc.) to create rhythm in a sentence. Ex: Whenever, wherever, we're meant to be together. (Lyrics from Shakira's song "Whenever, Wherever") Ex: I'm free to meet whenever or wherever you want.
