in reply to Five Ways to Reverse a String of Words (C#, Perl 5, Perl 6, Ruby, Haskell)

Here is a Lisp version (not much improvement on Perl/Ruby): 
newLISP v.9.0 on Win32 MinGW.

> (define (reverseWords s) (join (reverse (parse s)) " "))
(lambda (s) (join (reverse (parse s)) " "))
> (reverseWords "  one   two three four    ")
"four three two one"
