The girl with the curl

"There was a little girl who had a curl
Right in the middle of her forehead;
When she was good, she was very, very good,
And when she was bad she was horrid."
-Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme

My mother often calls me "The girl with the curl" which I have to admit, I pretty much am. The big question I have is, what happened to the girl with the curl? The poem is in past tense. This girl is a 'was'. Does that mean she was punished for being so horrid? Does she not exist anymore because of said punishment? This is all very important because it could very possibly show where my life is headed.
