I'm not precisely saying that a really good board meeting at the MLA (Museums, Libraries and Archives Coucil) makes me want to go and write poetry, but there is a pleasure in doing that sort of thing well.

Summary

This quote suggests that while attending a productive board meeting at the MLA may not directly inspire the author to write poetry, there is still a sense of satisfaction in successfully engaging in such professional activities. It highlights the enjoyment derived from effectively carrying out one's responsibilities and the fulfillment that can come from performing tasks competently in the context of the MLA or similar organizational settings.
