Lessons From the Garden Number One

Shucking corn fresh from the garden
It's not much fun language pardon
Tasty treat_sweet to eat

Lessons learned from this yucky chore
Tough shuck protects kernels galore
Pluck protects heart's soft meat

First time writing Tail-Rhyme
According to site:
Rhyming couple -eight syllables
Shorter line-does not rhyme
Then another couplet
Then a single line of fewer syllables 
that rhymes with line three
But I have a question.....
It shows rhyme scheme as
aab,ccb but that is not what it 
says in the printed part..
Which is correct?
