My take on Lisps is that people overblow the DSL aspect of it. I just write functions that call other functions, as opposed to methods that call other methods.

That's a fine thing to do in Common Lisp. If you ever change your mind, it's very easy to change a function into a generic function and split off the body into one or more methods.
