If you don't see an error message, you should check that your development environment is set-up properly. If you see an error message, add it to the question. Also when you have code that is "not working" you should write what you expected the code to do and what it did instead so that it becomes more clear what "not working" means to you. — hakre, Dec 22 '15 at 16:56

This should give you description of product

$_product->getData('short_description')

or

$_product->getShortDescription()

$_product is an instance of Mage_Catalog_Model_Product so if you want the product description you should call $_product->getDescription() and not $_product->getProduct()->getDescription()
