Yep Skip, another waste of everyone's time and non-helpful response ("wrong").   The fact is I have done exactly the same thing, VFR Flight, needed an IFR clearance to VFR conditions without a flight plan.  My last was in the Legacy at night with a layer on top of the destination airport.  I asked approach for a IFR descent clearance from 4000 to 2000 through the clouds, got it, broke out and cancelled, landed VFR.  In the last 5 years I've found controllers extremely willing to be helpful to VFR pilots who ask for assistance.

Possibly IFR to VFR on top, then cancel.  I've done that a couple of times to take off from coastal airports with a marine layer that only extended a few miles inland.  Don't need a flight plan to do that.
