I think "bore" is too subjective a word for use describing people. No one can definitively define what it is. Cf Scott.

Sounds more like a Whitfield/ Holland lyric, specifically The Marvelettes GREAT song Too Many Fish In The Sea:
short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
Too Many Fish In The Sea
(Norman Whitfield/Eddie Holland)
(spoken):
Look here, girls: Take this advice & remember always in life.
Into each heart some tears must fall
Though you love & lose you must stand tall
'Cause you all got to cry sometimes, I say, sigh sometimes
Pull yourself together, no use cryin' forever
CHORUS:
Because there are
(Too many fish in the sea, too many fish in the sea)
I say, there are short ones, tall ones, fine ones, kind ones
(Too many fish in the sea)
My mother once told me somethin', & every word is true:
Don't waste your time on a fella who doesn't love you
They'll only mislead you, only grieve you
Don't worry about him, let him go, do without him
(chorus)
(instrumental)
If a fish isn't on your line
Bait your hook & keep on tryin'
Don't let him get you down
There's other boys around
(chorus)
I don't want nobody who don't want me
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)
Ain't gonna love nobody who don't love me, now
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)
I don't need nobody who don't need me
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)
I don't want nobody who don't want me, now
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)
Ain't gonna love nobody who don't love me
('Cause there's too many fish in the sea)
...& fade

Hit it, Babs!
People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world
We’re children needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children than children
Lovers
Are very special people
They’re the luckiest people in the world
With one person,
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you’re whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you are half now you’re whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People, people who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.

The Ibis is a beauty, BN. Suggests elegant handiwork, whoever the craftsperson.
Today I have a less kind view of people.
If the Tibetans are correct, you or I might have a shot at incarnating as one of these beauties.

Thanks, Jesse. I plan to replace the Ibis image, though. I just sent you a PM, and now it's occurred to me that you might not have realized that the Ibis image is a photo--I mean, a photo of a live bird, not a crafted bird.

"In 1979, George Archibald urged ornithologists in China to look hard for remnant ibis, and in 1981 an estimated seven individuals were spotted in the Tsingling Mountains of Shannxi Province, a mountain range that also supports giant panda. Nests were located & protected, and a few prefledged birds were collected to start captive populations.
Today there are more than 100 birds in captivity, & a similar number in the wild.The Chinese are now considering the possibility of releasing captive birds back into the wild within the original range of the species in China.
In 1981, the last 5 wild ibis in Japan were taken into captivity."
- Peter Matthiessn, The Birds Of Heaven, 2001.
"Every land where they appear has tales & myths about the cranes, which since ancient times have represented longevity & good fortune, harmony & fidelity."
-Ibid
For Bluenoter.
